Rule 10: circuit split argued
At the Nov 6 conference: granted 0% · GVR 0% · relisted 0.53% · denied 99%
Granted ever, conference-stage estimate: 0.03%
Well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weights this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Question presented
Whether state courts may use a contractual choice-of-law clause to exempt arbitration confirmation proceedings from the FAA’s one-year deadline, its vacatur grounds, and Rule 65(d)’s injunction requirements, in violation of the Supremacy Clause.
